Per-flow changes to beam grouping defaults
You can change the default beam grouping rules for each flow independently on the Beam Grouping page in Notation Options.
Dorico has sophisticated underlying rules for producing beam groupings that follow the accepted conventions of music theory, including crossing the half-bar in time signatures like 4/4, beaming all eighth notes together in 3/4, beam groups that include tuplets, and many other situations.
There are alternative conventions for some of these rules, so you can change your default beam grouping rules for each flow in your project independently on the Beam Grouping page in Notation Options.
You can open Notation Options in any of the following ways:
-
Press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-N in any mode.
-
Choose in Write mode.
-
Choose in Setup mode.
-
Click Notation Options on the right of the Flows panel in Setup mode.
